Yes, this is where I do because my kids are growing so quickly.
I wait for the sales and then they get this stuff on sale, and then it doesn't make me feel like it doesn't last long enough.
This is dreamy, soft to sleep in love.
Speaker 2It's it's the best.
But if you're more of a target person, there are targets everywhere all over this great land.

Speaker 2You know.
When the show was airing, I wanted this stuff so badly and I couldn't find it.
Speaker 1Yeah, we didn't make it because I think that we didn't approve it because I think we thought that it would just be weird.
But also we just didn't understand that it was going to be such a wonderful thing for all these years, with all these wonderful fans.
So I just think we undersold ourselves in a way.
But apparently somebody at HBO has decided that we will be making merch.

Wow, I know, but I've never seen that picture of myself, which is kind of amazing.
And then we have young Lily, who's adorable, and then we have when I had the baby Rose, who hasn't become rock yet.
And then we have me jogging which I think I'm pregnant.
I've got the earmuffs on that I rewore, and then just like that, and then I love This is when I had three dogs, which almost no one remembers.
But there's Penny who played Elizabeth Taylor.
There's Evan, of course.
And then this is when she had those mutt puppies.
Remember when I got mad at her because she was pregnant.
These are two of the puppies, and see one's like a Jack Russell and one's just like a non determined white mutt.
And I only had them in the first movie.
I think I don't think I had them after that because the second movie we're not really at home.
Maybe we saw them briefly in the second movie.
Speaker 2Yeah, I know this.
This opens up with a bit of a flashback to get you up to speed before we dive into the.
Speaker 1Second Morocco love it.
Yeah, that's a Saria.
Yeah, we didn't get to go.
Sarah went there and walked alone in the water.
Speaker 2But there's some uh, there's some interviews with uh with you?
What actually you know?
I don't I know.
We have other guests to move on to.
Speaker 1I think looks learn to dress.
Wait, it's an interview with me.
Okay, I have no memory of this.
Speaker 2You guys, let's say, I'm just gonna read just a quick little thing here, Oh about your first karaoke experience?
Speaker 1What do I say?
Speaker 2I had never done karaoke in my life.
I'm a shy singer.
And Michael decided we were all going to do that number in front of two hundred extras.
Speaker 1Yeah, we thought we were going to die.
Speaker 2We lived through it and it was really fun, but we were.
Speaker 1So nervous, so nervous.
Speaker 2Singing karaoke was one of those crazy moments where you're just like sex and the city has the life of its own.
We're just here for the ride, trying to hold on.
It's like a bucking Bronco.
Speaker 1That's so good.
It is like a bucking Bronco sometimes it's true.
Speaker 2Well, I'm going to bookmark that page so you can relive some other moments.
Speaker 1Oh, I love it so much, Thank you so much, because I don't even own this book.
Thank you.
This is exciting.
And then this is the first book.
Speaker 2Right, Sex and City, Kiss and Tell.
Yeah, a sacred text for any fan of Sexton City.
Speaker 1But the thing that's weird is that I remembered having a pink faux croc cover.
This must be like a reissue.
Speaker 2Yes, this is the Versiary revising, updated to include all six seasons.
Because the original one was published.
Speaker 1It was published for the end, so it wouldn't have had the final six or whatever.
However they broke it up, you know what I mean.
That's interesting.
I love this picture of Sir Jessica.
Speaker 2It's a gorgeous picture.
It's got a really nice spine, it's got that nice pain look book shops seventeen dollars on anima.
Speaker 1Open it and look in the back and see if it has the men.
Okay, it has a cast photos.
Speaker 2Oh, this is fine.
There's a lot behind the scenes.
Fight is at the end here, this is yes, really cute glossary.
Oh my god, uh, funky spark is in there.
Bad tasting boy juice.
Speaker 1Boy juice, that's what we wrote.
That's sterical.
Speaker 2There's like trivia in.
Speaker 1Front of an actor.
That's Jackson Pollock in the.
Speaker 2Met Oh a beautiful picture.
That was a great just in front of Jackson Pollock.
This is a really fun book.
I got to buy this for myself.
Speaker 1I know.
But it doesn't have the men in the back does it.
Speaker 2Does not have the Oh, here we go, there's there's a smith Jerry.
Speaker 1See.
Speaker 2Oh, we have the men.
Speaker 1But wait, let me see the backpack.
Because at one point they had like a grid where they put all the men.
But then someone told me on our Instagram page that went that they redid it at some.
Speaker 2Point took out the men.
Speaker 1No, they had the men, but when you actually counted up, Samantha did have more.
I believe it said oh really yeah, because at one point I had the most, which really didn't make sense.
But I think obviously we don't know about Samantha before the show, right, But at some point they revised it and I didn't have the most, but I remember Sir Jessica pointing out that I had the most at one point.
Speaker 2There's there's a section four men, and they kind of list them off here.
Okay, let's see, and they include a non romantic man like Stanford's.
Speaker 1I know his little faces, and there's really cute.
Speaker 2Oh yeah, it was so cute.
Speaker 1So cute.
This is fascinating.
I'm gonna have to put this on my bookshelf.
You guys, I'm excited to have it.
Yeah, I'm excited to have it for Oh.
Look there's Franny.
Oh, there's us laying on the bed, Kyle, Franny and myself laying on the bed.
That was That was good.
There's a whole page with Kyle looking super handsome.
Speaker 2Oh yeah, love it, love it.
Love photocopy of that and put it on my wall.
Speaker 1You're funny, it's adorable.
Speaker 2Yeah, this is a This is a great gift for any Sex and City fan.
Speaker 1Thank you.
I'm keeping it though, I'm not giving it to any other fan myself but myself.
So I brought a little something.
It's not Sex and the City related, but I just wanted to show you and I thought you would appreciate this.
Easton.
I have worked with the UN with refugees over the years, and I love my trips and my travels.
And one time I was in a refugee camp and I met these women who were making baskets within the camp with their kids there.
It was like so fun and everyone was having great time and they were making baskets that you could buy that would support them in the refugee camp.
And it was such a great idea that we ended up making a way for you to buy goods from the refugees called May to fifty one and we'll link to it with our Instagram and they'd make the most adorable Christmas tree ornaments and or whatever ornament you might want to have.
So this is called hold On, Hold On.
This is every gift tells a story.
You get a card about it.
This is a cute donkey ornament, noble donkeys, a noble donkey, Thank you babe.
And this is East African refugees who have come from Egypt.
So they're talking about things.
They're making things that relate to their culture and their lives, probably before they ended up having to flee and become refugees, which really no one wants to become a refugee.
Speaker 2But special piece of art.
Speaker 1I know, and they're so they have a whole story behind them.
This is desert moon.
Wow.
Is crafted by the Taregg refugees living in Niger.
Speaker 2This moon highlights their impressive metalwork techniques that they used to create both utilitarian and decorative objects.
For these nomadic pastoralists who traditionally inhabit a vast area in the Sahara desert, the moon is a symbol of protection and prosperity.
Speaker 1Amazing wow.
And then look at this cute Afghan dog.
Is that adorable?
And this is by Afghan refugees Afghani refugees, which is so amazing of course because obviously they've been through a lot.
Yes, yes, people from Afghanistan.
So I just love these because I love the stories and I also think they're just so beautifully made.
They're made by hand.
They're amazing.
And you can support refugees where they are by supporting Made fifty one.
They also have a bunch of non holiday stuff, cute makeup bags and I got to travel luggage tag.
I mean, really cute things.
Speaker 2What a special thing and such a cool way to support people who have just been through so much, and that you can go through something like that and still create this beautiful art.
I'm just so I'm so blown away by that.
Speaker 1That's right.
And I think the thing about refugees that people don't realize is that they really want to work.
And so any refugees who might get to come to our country, which obviously it takes forever to get to come to our country, they go through a lot to come here.
They're the hardest working people that I've ever met.
I've met people who come here and are so thrilled to get a janitor job.
Like to them, that is like their life's mission to be able to be resettled and have a life for their family and work.
And they'll work all night.
They'll they'll do the job as no one else wants to do, so, you know, to be able to support them while they're still in the camps doing arts and crafts that reminds them of their culture.
It's so amazing.
Ye And they get to be able to you know, if you're in a camp and you're able to make extra money, you can buy extra food for your kids, you might be able to send your kids to school.
You might be able to buy books for your children.
You know, it's it's really so important to be able to support them before they might be able to be resettled, because obviously it's really hard in this day and age to even get to be resettled.
Speaker 2Absolutely, Yes, that's made fifty one.
Everybody please go check it out.
Speaker 1Yeah, and we'll put all this stuff on our Instagram.
Yeah, that'll be fun.
Speaker 2I got one last gift to show you, Kristen.
Now, there's a lot of stuff we talked about.
Is like stuff for the fan fans of the show.
This this sweatshirt is ripped from the show.
You can just like Carrie.
Speaker 1Amazing.
Speaker 2We all remember she wears a sweatshirt that has the Monopoly board, but it reads New York instead of Monopoly.
Speaker 1Amazing.
I don't even remember this.
When was this like a like the first show?
Yes, okay, got it.
It looks really cute.
Speaker 2Yeah, it's so cute.
There's someone on Etsy is making them making like a duplicate of it.
Awesome, it runs your forty three bucks.
It's cool.
Speaker 1That's a good gift.
That's a gift for like the insider, right, people who really pay attention and they're there's a lot of you guys out there, which we love.
We love it when you know the details, this is a gift for that person.
Gosh, I learned a lot.
I didn't know all this merchandise existed.
So basically, we want to say to everybody, thank you for listening to our you a Charlotte.
We hope you guys are not stressing out there.
I know it's hard.
It's hard right when it gets to the holidays.
